[DIR EN GREY @ METALTOWN, or, as I would like to call this entry, "IN THE AFTERMATH OF PURE JOY" ]

WARNING: This entry might be hard to follow, I can't really express myself at the moment, can't even get my head straight xD

This Saturday was the best Saturday I've had these last couple of months (If you don't count the day after I graduated from high school, a couple of weeks ago. That was awesome too).
But this Saturday was extremely special, since that was when I was attending the final day of Metaltown here in Gothenburg, Sweden; also known as the day when I got to see both MUCC, GIRUGÄMESH AND (AND!!!!1one) DIR EN GREY.
This was my second time seeing both MUCC and Dir en grey, but my first experience with Giru, and I must say that they did not let me down. At all. Although MUCC's Metaltown concert still cannot beat their live in Stockholm back in 2007 or something, their Gokusai period. They even played daikirai and everything on that concert o_____o It was completely perfect. It was different this time around, but still amazing. Girugämesh was wonderful too, they had the most energetic live of them all, I was running on pure adrenalin. But still, nothing can beat Dir en grey. It was a fucking religious experience, I'm telling you, I felt so high, euphoric and dizzy afterwards I just collapsed in my girlfriend's arms (I blame the dizziness on the several blows to my head, all of which I received during the countless hours of trying to survive in the mosh pit of Bring the the Horizon, Girugämesh and MUCC. They all played on the CLOSE-UP Stage and I had to fight for my life through BMTH to get a decent spot for Giru. Hahaha it was fun though. But imagine standing up for six hours straight, stuck between crazy fangirls and raw metalheads, being crushed half to death, getting no air or nothing, and then, having to run for your life from the MUCC concert, which ended right when Dir en grey started playing on another stage. I was so disoriented that I got lost and couldn't find my way to the stage -______- Thank goodness for the other people who were running. I followed them and eventually got there, in time to hear SA BIR and in time to feel all my energy rushing back rapidly. Then came OBSCURE, and the concert mood was ON! The most beautiful thing was when they played THE FINAL and everyone sang along. "SOOO I CAN'T LIVE, SO I CAN'T LIVE". Just out of this world.
I have to see them again. There are so many songs I have to hear. Damn, I really thought they would play CLEVER SLEZOID, but I guess they didn't have time. They only got one hour or so. Hm. I just HAVE to see them live again.
